As a Verein we are an international non-profit non-governmental organization and depend on you to keep us going. We happily accept donations, but we also have another way that you can help us help the world without coming out of pocket!
One of the best ways you can support Solar CITIES is by simply doing your shopping here, through our website links to Amazon.com. Solar CITIES is an Amazon.com affiliate, meaning that when you purchase your books, movies, tools and other products by clicking through our pages instead of going direct to Amazon through your browser, we get a tiny tiny commission on each item you buy. It doesn't cost you any more, but it does a whole lot to help us continue our programs helping the urban and rural poor in Egypt and Guatemala and elsewhere.
Right now we are trying to build 50 solar roofs in the slums of Cairo (Darb El Ahmar and Manshiyat Nasser). We need funds to purchase materials and to train the residents of the communities and pay the craftspeople (welders, glass and sheet metal vendors, plumbers etc.).
Please tell your friends that they can help make a real difference simply by buying their goods and entertainment through Amazon.com through us. Refer them to this page (which will be updated and expanded constantly!) and encourage everyone you know to come here to shop.
To get to our Amazon.com ASTORE, where you can find a great selection of presorted and themed books, movies and games, click here:
In this way you can turn your consumer power into productive power to help bring sustainable development to the poor areas of the world.
Thanks!
The Solar CITIES team
